Firefox: making “new window” = “new tab”

Posted in Firefox at 3:11 pm by LeisureGuy

When I post a link, I select the option to have it open in a new window, rather than the same window. In Firefox, it’s easy to make this option open the link in a new tab instead:

In Firefox, Tools, Options, Tabs, and check the box for “Force links that open new windows to open in:” and then click the radio button for “a new tab.”

From then on, you’ll get what you want—in this regard at least.

    Firefox 3 Tools, Options, Tabs allows you to specify whether a new page is to be opened in the same tab, a new tab, or a new window.
